Guys. I'm in Botany class and am having unholy thoughts about my sir. Help.

No, but, how come his ribs didn't? Was that on purpose? Hmmmmm 🤔
The fact that she hits Cardan so hard her weapon breaks? LMFAOOOOO PLATINUM
I remember going "EEEEE" while reading that😭😭
I am on my millionth reread of TCP and I noticed something!
You remember our beloved scene when Cardan tells her "Did I tell you how hideous you look tonight?" and then "I cannot"? Jude was completely out of it before. She was literally close to a panic attack and Cardan is one hell of an observant motherfucker. This was his way of snapping her out of it, probably even trying to cheer her up. He already knew he couldn't say it, and even Jude noticed his soft tone making it sound like a compliment. Because it was meant to be one, and it worked because it snapped Jude right back into the moment, even if only because it annoyed her. But of course it did, because as usual, Jude presumed he is messing with her.
I don't know how I missed this before, but it makes me feel so soft 🥺🥺🥺 The way he started to look out for her in these subtle ways. I am so weak for them.
Something that I love about Jude and Cardan is they actually raise hell for each other. In other books, characters will often make these grand declarations of love and say things like 'i would burn the world for you' or destroy everything for you or whatever, but with Jurdan, they don't rlly say stuff like that to each other, they just do it. Like Cardan signing off a peace treaty allowing the undersea to attack the land and risk war to get Jude back, going against his morals and killing Madoc's guards when they were taking her, or Jude letting Snardan poison the land as long as possible because she was searching for a way to bring him back.
“With all due respect, which is none,”
- Percy Jackson, probably
Can we all see how Athena blaming Annabeth for Percy’s antics is a representation of real problems in the real world? That today's girls have it harder than boys? That daughters have it harder than sons? Girls have to try much harder to be recognized as valuable. There is a reason why there are posts like "My father is the worst man in the world - and I am his favorite daughter". There is a reason why people talk about how strict mothers are with their daughters. How they push them around, even though the son does much less. NOT WITHOUT REASON when SA is talked about is it said , "or did she not tempt him?". Not without reason. These are the realities. And I’m pretty sure Riordan is aware
Most unrealistic part of 1x04 is that when Percy said the stinger was poisonous, Annabeth didn't immediately correct him to venomous
